New Yorker cover pokes fun at Palin's 'experience'

Check out the latest cover of The New Yorker, which pokes fun at Governor Palin's dubious claim that she has foreign policy experience because of Alaska's proximity to Russia.

"You can see Russia from parts of Alaska," said Palin.

The cover is done by noted artist Barry Blitt, who was behind the controversial fist-bump cover featuring Michelle and Barack Obama.

It's based on Saul Steinberg's famous 1976 vision of New York at the center of the world, which can be seen below:

An instant classic. Go back to the Alaskan boonies, governor.
